FurFright: Baking all the things

[tabbiewolf]

So I have been encouraged by certain parties -- that is, all of the FurFright staff who I have given baked goods to since last year -- to actually sell my cupcakes and cookies at the convention. This is possible because I have a business license and can follow the rules of a farmers market (instead of having to worry about health code violations), and has been approved by the Folks In Charge.

The questions left, then, are two: What specifically do I sell, and how much do I sell it for?

Obviously, cookies and cupcakes and brownies (and other bar cookies) are what I'm going to be making...but which ones? There are so many types. What homemade baked goods are your favorites?

And, if you were at a convention and given the option of baked goods, how much would you be comfortable paying for them? It can't break the bank for my customers, but I'd like to make a bit of profit, as well (the supplies I'll need for distribution -- boxes, etc. -- will actually probably cost me more than the baking supplies).

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Are you planning on selling single items or (in the case of a cookie) a pack of 2,4,6,12? I would imagine selling more at once would cost YOU less in packaging but idk..

I would also say doing bulk batches of just a few different kinds of cookies would be cheaper and you wouldn't have to be concerned about time/energy/supplies in different packaging, baking, displaying and such.

The price I'd pay would also differ on the size /quantity of the yumz. But I would say $1-2 per cookie, $2-3 per brownie ?
I like PB cookies, and Chocolate chunk. But I'm pretty plain jane too.
